HOMECOMING SCOTLAND 2009 CELEBRATIONS.



HOMECOMING SCOTLAND 2009 CELEBRATIONS.

HOMECOMING SCOTLAND 2009 FESTIVAL kicks off in 2009 on January the 25th which is known worldwide as Burns night.
This is the special day throughout the world where Scottish ancestry and modern day Scottish ex-pats enjoy the celebrations of Burns Suppers and traditional Scottish Dancing with toasting usually with some fine Scottish whisky. The Burns Supper is; Haggis neeps and tatties, or, Neeps - Turnip mashed, tatties - potatoes, Haggis - many have suggested the Haggis is an animal with three legs and one is shorter than the other to run round the top of hills, but I think most folks know that the Haggis has four legs but only uses three but the fourth leg comes into play when you pull it and have people on.
Mince - the main meat dish in many Scottish homes is usually served with the above and many also add skirly which is oatmeal stuffing.
The Homecoming Scotland 2009 will last until St Andrews day the patron saint of Scotland, which is the 30th of November.
Many are going to remember Scotland in 2009 as the year when being Scottish will be Scottish pride in action for the whole world to enjoy.
Visit the official Homecoming Scotland 2009 website for more information and don't be shy about telling us how proud you are about Scotland and being Scottish, or even if your not Scottish let us know what you like about Scotland, be it the people, scenery, or the beautiful scenery we want to hear and read about everybody everywhere worldwide who loves our great country.
